Trivia:

This entire film was a mockumentary that was advertised as an unauthorized bio of reclusive director M. Night Shyamalan. After going as far as Shyamalan reporting to the press that he was upset about the release of this film, many fans and journalists became upset when they later learned it was all a hoax. The Sci-Fi channel released an apology a few days before release for their campaign strategies.See more »

FAQ

I bought into this show because of the dizzying amount of air time the
Sci-Fi channel used to promote it and my interest in Mr. Shyamalan.

Five minutes into it, I knew I'd been duped.

As I told my wife...

If Nathaniel Kahn and his crew were indeed shooting a conventional
documentary, you never would've heard the Sci-Fi Channel executive's
portion of the phone call during the opening sequence in the hotel
room, only Nathaniel's. There would have been no reason to "mic" the
caller unless it were planned that way.

At that point in the "doc" they would've had no idea they were taking
an "alternate creative direction" and simply wouldn't have that
elaborate of set-up so early on.
